Switching phones is always exciting – especially if you’re switching from Android to iPhone. Your new (or refurbished) iPhone offers a completely different experience, but what do you do with all your contacts, photos, and messages from your old phone?

In this guide from Hop.bg, we’ll show you how to easily transfer data from Android to iPhone without losing a single important file.

1. What can you transfer from Android to iPhone

Before you get started, it’s important to know that Apple allows the transfer of most types of information:

Contacts and calendar

Photos and videos

Messages and chats

Saved browser bookmarks

Emails and accounts

Some apps (if available in the App Store)

2. Method 1: With the Move to iOS app

The most convenient way to migrate your data is through the free Move to iOS app, created by Apple.

2.1. Install Move to iOS

Open the Google Play Store and download Move to iOS.

2.2. Prepare your devices

Fully charge both phones.
Connect them to a stable Wi-Fi network.
If you are using a refurbished iPhone from Hop.bg, make sure it has been reset to factory settings.
2.3. Start setting up your iPhone

When you first turn it on, select "Apps & Data" → "Move Data from Android".

2.4️. Enter the connection code

A code will appear on the iPhone screen that you need to enter in the Move to iOS app on Android.

2.5️. Choose what to transfer

Check the data you want to transfer - contacts, photos, messages, etc. Wait until the process is complete.

Tip: If you are transferring large files, connect the chargers of both phones to avoid interruptions.

3. Method 2: Manual Transfer via Google Account or Cloud

If you prefer to control the process yourself, you can transfer data manually.

Contacts

Sync contacts with your Google account on Android.
Sign in with the same account on iPhone:

Settings → Contacts → Accounts → Add Account → Google.

Photos and Videos

Upload them to Google Photos or Google Drive from Android.

Then install the same app on iPhone and sign in with the same account.
Documents and Files

Use Dropbox, OneDrive, or iCloud Drive for secure transfer.
4. Method 3: Via Computer (USB Cable)

Connect your Android phone to your computer and copy photos, documents, and other files.
Then connect your iPhone and use Finder (on Mac) or iTunes (on Windows) to upload the files back.
This method is suitable if you don’t have a stable internet connection or prefer to do everything offline.

5. Useful tips from Hop.bg

Check if you have enough free space in iCloud or on the iPhone itself.
Use a Wi-Fi connection, not mobile data.
If you purchased a refurbished iPhone from Hop.bg, all settings will be reset, so you can start the migration right away.
Once you're done, download your favorite apps from the App Store.
Transferring data from Android to iPhone is no longer a challenge. With the help of Move to iOS or cloud services, you can make the migration quick, easy and safe.
